Cute and Cuddly

These are some little guys I've been working on for a Tigerprint competition.It's characters for a New Baby collection. I wanted them to look like little stuffed animals. It's a bit of a departure for me - edpecially the colors. They're still hand-drawn and "colored" with papers I painted and colored (with abit of fabric throuwn in for the neutral background) but the colors are softer than I usually choose. I designed this batch to be appropriate for birth announcements, greeting cards, photo album covers, gift bags, etc.
Next up I need to make a repeat pattern for gift wrap. I like the quiltish border on the sides and I'm going to run with that for the repeat pattern. I know exactly what I want to do - I just need to find the time. . .
